Chapter 413 Meeting the Mistress
Luo Jiu looked at Chen Gong who was kneeling down, feeling filled with emotion.
There are many strategists in the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In her mind, although Chen Gong is not as famous as Zhuge Liang, he is definitely in the top ten of the Three Kingdoms strategists.
Chen Gong was a happy-go-lucky man, a principled man with a straight-forward temperament.
He was inspired by Cao Cao's ambition to serve his country, and in order to follow Cao Cao, he was willing to give up his official position and become a criminal. However, when he saw Cao Cao's treacherous character, he left him without hesitation.
After Chen Gong became Lu Bu's counselor, he helped Lu Bu, a military general with strong limbs but simple mind, to plan, allowing him to gain a place among various forces.
What is even more rare is that after Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao, Cao Cao valued his talent and wanted to recruit Chen Gong, but Chen Gong was determined to die. It was truly tragic.
What Luo Jiu did in Lujiazhuang was originally just to save Lu Bushe's family, but he didn't expect that he would get Chen Gong by accident.
It’s my first time entering the world of the Three Kingdoms, and this gift for novices is really generous.
Luo Jiu was about to pull the man up, but then he remembered that in this period people valued counselors with courtesy and wise rulers loved and respected talents, so he got into a mess.
Rewards of gold and silver are the most basic, but there are also various other forms of "favor".
In order to keep Guan Yu, Cao Cao gave him the most luxurious mount, Red Hare, and sent him everything he had. He also cooked the good wine and meat while they were being cooked. He was very considerate and caring, even going so far as to cover Guan Yu with a blanket in the middle of the night, which made Zhang Liao and his men jealous.
Liu Bei, who was best at recruiting talents, kowtowed and shed tears to almost every one of his advisers. He visited Zhuge Liang three times at his cottage, and when he formally met Zhuge Liang for the first time, he knelt down and cried, begging him to leave seclusion.
Whenever a counselor wanted to leave, he would cry and howl, and even cut down the tree that blocked Xu Shu's back. If nothing else, the emotional value is absolutely in place.
Now that Chen Gong had knelt down, Luo Jiuyi thought that she should also follow the local customs.
She knelt down immediately, and the four people around her were suddenly confused. Zhong Jialing quickly asked with her mouth: "Then should we kneel down or not?"
Cheng Yaoyao spread her hands. How would she know?
Luo Jiu said to Chen Gong: "Although Luo Jiu has the ambition to serve the country, he is a nobody. He has no prestige, no soldiers, and no cities. Now I am very happy to have you follow me. I hope you can help me and achieve great things together."
Chen Gong kowtowed again with joy, "Greetings, my lord."
"Lord?" Luo Jiu felt that this word seemed wrong.
Chen Gong thought about it for a moment, then kowtowed and said, "Greetings, Madam!"
Luo Jiu smiled and helped him up, then quickly waved behind him. Cheng Yaoyao understood and took out two gold bars and one hundred taels of silver, and hurriedly put them into a box.
Luo Jiu handed it to Chen Gong. Chen Gong didn't expect them to be so rich. He was shocked when he opened it and kept refusing.
Luo Jiu said: "Sir, these gold and silver items are not worthy of you, but they are just a token of my gratitude. Please accept them."
Chen Gong had no choice but to accept it and asked hurriedly, "Madam, what are our plans for the next step?"
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "You are a counselor, what do you think?"
Chen Gong thought for a moment, "My mistress urgently needs an opportunity to establish her prestige and reputation in front of the heroes of the world. Cao Cao is going to call on the princes of the world to start an uprising. When the time comes, all the wise men will come. I think we should go too. First, we must let people know that you are among the princes. This is the most important thing."
Luo Jiu nodded, "I think so too."
Chen Gong said hurriedly: "Then let's recruit soldiers and horses immediately, and recruit a brave general as soon as possible, so that we can show our faces at the alliance meeting."
Luo Jiu said: "No, we already have the brave generals." She pointed at Feng Qi and Fu Bao, "They will go into battle when the time comes. You just need to listen to the news. When we meet, you will buy five horses and five sets of armor for us, and wait for us in front of the pass."
Chen Gong was stunned, "Where is the mistress going?"
"I have other important matters to attend to, so I cannot discuss this matter for the time being. But don't worry, we will be there at the critical moment." After saying this, Luo Jiu hurried away with Feng Qi and others.
There are still two books that I haven't finished yet. I have to hurry up and finish the plot. I don't know when those two books will be available.
The five people entered the woods and turned around to come out. As expected, they had moved to a new place. Although it was still in the wilderness, the temperament was a little different.
Fubao climbed up and down, trying to find someone to ask, and suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "Five Finger Mountain!"
The five people were overjoyed. The Five Finger Mountain was still there, and it seemed that the Great Sage was still suppressing them.
The five people quickly prepared some food and ran down the mountain. Sure enough, they saw a monkey lying at the bottom of the mountain, blowing tree hair out of boredom.
"Great Sage!" Five people rushed over.
Sun Wukong was stunned. "Who are you? Why do you recognize me?"
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "We are human beings. We have heard your story, so we know you. We know that you are working hard here at the foot of the mountain, so we came to see you specially, didn't we?"
When Sun Wukong saw the fruit basket they were holding, his eyes lit up. "Okay, okay, where did you hear my stories? Give me some fruit first."
Cheng Yaoyao was unpacking the package with a smile on her face. Fubao quickly handed over the drinks she had prepared specially for her. "Great Sage, I just finished catching up on the 1986 version of Journey to the West. I am now your fan and I like you very much. These are the things I think are the best. I highly recommend Wangzai Milk and AD Calcium Milk. You should try them."
Sun Wukong blinked, "Are you a human being too, kid?"
Sun Wukong was almost five hundred years old. When he looked at Fubao, he called her "child" almost like a centenarian looking at a child who had just learned to walk.
Fu Bao was stunned, "Why am I not a human?"
Sun Wukong laughed and said, "You look like a demon to me."
"You are the demon!" Fu Bao almost quit being a fan on the spot, but then he heard Sun Wukong say: "I am a demon to begin with, so what? Don't you know the benefits of being a demon? If a person is trapped here for five hundred years, all his bones will be broken into pieces."
Fu Bao thought so, but then she remembered that her four mothers and grandmother were all mortals. Although they were blessed by the space and could hardly look old, they could gradually change. They could not live for a thousand or eight hundred years like a demon. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad.
Feng Qi helped to sweep the floor, Zhong Jialing combed the Monkey King's hair, and Cheng Yaoyao put a blanket under his arms.
Sun Wukong's place was cleaner and more comfortable than ever before. He drank milk and ate fresh fruit, which was so beautiful.
Luo Jiu hurriedly asked, "Great Sage, how long have you been here?"
Sun Wukong counted with his fingers, "It's been almost five hundred years."
Luo Jiuxi said happily: "That's good, you will be able to come out soon. Just be patient for a few more days, someone will rescue you."
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm used to it." Sun Wukong looked in good condition and was very optimistic.
He has not turned evil in five hundred years. He is truly born to be a Buddha.
Luo Jiu said: "Then we will leave first and come to see you later. Put the things here, is it within reach?"
She pushed the two boxes of milk in again. Sun Wukong smiled and said, "You can see it, go ahead and don't worry. Bring me some wine next time."
Luo Jiu agreed and asked everyone to leave.
Fu Bao quietly took out a bottle of Jiang Xiaobai, turned around quickly, and discussed with Sun Wukong: "Great Sage, I have some wine here now. Let's make a deal. If you promise me one thing, I will bring you wine every time I come. How about that?"
Sun Wukong asked hurriedly: "What's the matter?"
